String Color; Does It Matter?

So lately I've been looking at what strings I want to put in my new racquets whenever I order them and have been looking at strings that come in red and black, over the years I've seen people with mixed opinions some think color makes a difference some does, me I'm partial to the red color but I'm wondering if anyone thinks color truly effects TW performance of the string in any way, even if its the exact same string with a different color ... ( personally I doubt it but wanna hear some opinions, the strings are pro line II from kirschbaum )

Well, I think it's just all preference. Although I have used string such as Prince Synthetic Gut Duraflex in many colors and to me, each color feels different. Such as the black feels a bit stiffer while as the white feels soft and crisp. But it could be my mind. haha.

I don't really perceive a big difference, but the main reason I won't buy colored strings again was due to my recent experience. Used a black colored string and they created string marks on tons of balls till eventually you can see the sweet spot area of the stringed is devoid of color. Sticking to natural from now on.

What string? All of the color just rubbed off?

I'm used to stuff like that because I have to use a stencil on all of my strings, so it doesn't bother me.

Volkl Power Fibre II multi. The color didn't all wear off but in the sweet spot area you can see that much of the color is gone. The string plays well so no complaints there. Maybe the multi colored synguts do not have this issue?

I think some posters here have noticed a difference with the x-one variants. You can get it in a natural or red color. Think the common consensus was that the red was a bit stiffer or began to fray earlier. Can't remember for certain.

We have now playtested all of the MSV Co.-Focus strings we carry paying attention to performance characteristics of the varying colors. We have not been able to distinguish any discernible difference in overall playability of the strings on the court.
